Why Has Modern Pilates Become So Static?

1 - Commercialisation – After Pilates’ death in 1967, his method was absorbed by the fitness industry. Group mat classes became the easiest way to market and standardise. Rolling, crawling, or hopping were quietly left out.
2 - Fitness Trends – In the 1980s–90s, Pilates was popularised as a way to get “flat abs” and long, lean muscles. The aesthetic goal overshadowed the functional one.
3 - Client Expectations – People walking into a Pilates studio today expect yoga-like or ab-focused work. Studios meet those expectations.

15 times (if you’re 50–60)?
20 times (if you’re under 50)?
25 times (if you’re under 30)?

Feldenkrais Workshops - Holistic Movements

“When you know what you are doing, you can do what you want.”
Dr Moshe Feldenkrais (Awareness Through Movement, Harper & Row, 1967)

Our Holistic Movements classes use gentle, floor-based or seated lessons inspired by the Feldenkrais Method, a movement approach that re-trains the brain to move with less effort and more freedom.
No experience needed, and all abilities welcome.

✨ Holistic Movement Workshop – A Great Success! ✨

🔹 Workshop led by: Yann Ao’Drenn (unicity.scot)
📍 Location: Inch House, Edinburgh
📩 Further information: contact@unicity.scot

This weekend’s Holistic Movement Workshop at Inch House, Edinburgh, was an incredible experience! 26 people came together in a 55 sqm space, creating the perfect setting for movement, awareness, and connection.

As human beings, we are not meant to exist in isolation. Our ancestors could only thrive through collaboration, by sensing and acknowledging the presence of others. In this workshop, attendees had to adapt, be aware, and take care of one another—a key element of movement and life itself.

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, for your presence, curiosity, and engagement. Your feedback is invaluable and will help shape future sessions. If you attended and haven’t shared your thoughts yet, I’d love to hear from you!

More workshops to come—stay tuned!
